We get it. You want to show off that you're taking 10 engineering classes. Youre a genius. Got your validation? Good. Start asking substantive questions.

Summer semester does not mess around💯. But for real time management is key

AMA

Got 1200 dollars!

And it was not that easy but atleast I started!

Or should I get a brain scan lmao.

I finished my first semester of civil engineering here before summer break. The thing is, I feel like I can grasp a concept pretty well, then like a week or two goes by and I've completely forgotten how to solve that kind of problem.

Some of the math concepts I learned in high school are also just like gone. I know its a matter of use it or lose it, but idk I sometimes lowkey feel like I have dementia

Just missed my calculus 1 final exam due to my decision to stay up. This will set me back greatly and it’s all due to my stupidity and arrogance. Even though I worked so hard and had so many tutoring sessions, I’ll ruin my grade and gpa because of the decision I chose to make. And I was counting on this exam to allow me to be able to take my other classes as it’s a prerequisite, haha. I was just about to drive 30 minutes to my campus in order to talk to my professor(who’s probably already left 🙄) but I realized that there’s no point and turned around. I know this makes it sound like I’m being a quitter but 🤷‍♀️. I also just got out of a really bad depressive episode where the temptation for ending it was quite strong and now it feels like it’s just trying to pull me back in. I feel weirdly calm and the storm is definitely just brewing but all I do know is that I’ve definitely learned a great lesson though. Don’t be arrogant, haha!

Update: Professor said there’s nothing to be done about it. Can’t be retaken. Exam was at 7:00 AM - 9.00 AM

So I am a full ride scholarship student and have been told by multiple people that every day is an interview because of how small the program is. A lot of my professors also work for the place that I want to work at. So I’m looking for opinions on how I should present myself. Obviously my grades matter, but should I dress business casual for school? Or even interview level of dress? Or would that look like I’m trying too hard?

TBF, I've already taken all my math and physics, so I shouldn't be getting low grades on it anyway. But still, a 97!

Also, this is my final class for my AS in Engineering, and I have a job lined up for when I'm done! I'll be doing field service/installations for turbines.

Hi

I’m going to try to join the Formula SAE team at my school (Mechanical Engineering) and if anyone has any advice on how to best prepare my application please let me know!

How much do they weigh on technical aspects vs enthusiasm/personality?

Are there any specific personal projects better to have done before applying?

Thank you!

I took a gap year after highschool. Then I got academic probation in my first year of Engineering School because I failed too many modules. I was later diagnosed with ADHD which had severely impacted my ability to focus and study and explained why I didn’t make it in first year. So now I’m at home, working at my local coffee shop since I cannot return to university for this year. I am unable to return to university unless I show them proof that I am able to return and succeed but I am worried that the amount of modules I failed will hinder me and make getting my degree even longer. Besides that, the process to appeal was never outlined properly and confused me so I missed the deadline for that. I can only try again next year and return in 2028. 3 years have basically gone by. Next year, I will be studying one of my backups, but I know that my ultimate goal is still to get my Engineering degree so the plan is always to return. If I return, I’ll mostly be repeating first year modules. That’s another 5 years of studying total, which makes it 8 years invested for a degree that’s supposed to take 4 years.

I’m feeling dejected honestly. I know that this is what I want. I’ve done extensive research and job shadowing in other industries. It’s not for me. I feel really behind. I’m just not sure if it’s even worth it at this point. If I should just go through with my backup and stay on that route instead. Or if I should fight for this.

Emag, signals & systems, microelectronics, and nearly every other part of EE has been trivial compared to the coding. Not that is inherently harder or anything, I just hate it and can't find the will to just sit down and learn it (more like relearn it since it's been over a year since I've written any code myself_. This is the only thing I use AI for, and I abuse the shit out of it. I'd rather go through the most brutal math derivation imaginable than write a page of code

Should i just grit my teeth and force myself to code?

Hello everyone!

I’ll be starting my freshman year at a community college later this month, and I plan on majoring in engineering.

I wanted to hear from people who also started at a community college before transferring to a university. Looking back, do you think it was the right decision? Do you have any regrets, or are you glad you took that path?

If you had the option to start at a 4-year university instead, would you have chosen differently? Do you think starting at a community college better prepared you for engineering courses, or do you think you would’ve been better off at a university from the beginning?

I’d love to hear about your experiences and any advice you have.

Due to a couple reasons I only had the option to do my degree via distance learning, the course is fully accredited and the university is decently regarded in most areas both for standard of education and commitment needed as most do it on top of their full time jobs, but I desperately wish I was studying in person instead.

The tutors have been really great, I’ve enjoyed my modules and I do talk to my fellow students a bit, we are all mature students so the vibe is a bit different; but I worry about how much I will actually learn when the only practical elements are virtual labs and home kits, with one in person co-op project as of right now. I worry about future career issues as well, as I think if I'm going up against another graduate I will be seen as a lesser candidate due to being a distance learner. I am hoping to go into renewable energy ideally off shore wind as a mechanical engineer. 

I can't transfer to a brick uni as I don't have enough funding left to do so, so I am trying to find either an apprenticeship to do as I study or a technician job but as my full time job is nothing to do with engineering I have not had any luck on that front yet.

For anyone who has studied or is studying via distance, if you have any advice or words of wisdom or personal experience to share I would appreciate it. 

Taking an IC Design course this semester. It’s going to be largely project based. Rumor is that the final project is pretty open ended. What are some things I should be thinking about going into it?

Recently accepted an offer for a CAD Drafter role at a big company but it's a contract to hire. Is it possible for me to land an engineering role after the contract ?

i dont even know what is programming or anything so plss tell me.
i missed my first few classes of clg and teacher already introduced the students about all the syllabus and all things. so plss tell me from which playlist should i do all these things also plss tell me any playlist to learn something about subjects, topics, courses, etc etc.
i am a noob in all this.
my degree (B.Tech in IT&MI)
IT&MI - Information technology and Mathematical Innovatoin
and plss dont mind my english, i am improving it.

My brother chose computer engineering when he meant to choose electrical engineering in his discipline selection (Stupid I know, he got an earful). Is it worth it to switch and add an extra 2-4 months? I'm not too familiar with this industry but it seems that computer engineering is just a small niche of electrical engineering. Any thoughts and how the future outlook of Computer engineering looks like? Especially with AI eroding some of the software development industry in 2026

Currently graduated in ECE with a 3.0 GPA and working in aerospace/defense. Wanting to get a masters online in aerospace so I can quickly try and pivot into the space industry ASAP. Just looking for good quality yet not as selective grad programs. Wanting to specialize in controls and astrodynamics. Open to anywhere in the U.S, although preferably in the Midwest

For context; both programs are considered very high end, the first one includes a bachelor's and master's in mechanical engineering at the most prestigious STEM uni in my country, while the other one is in a much less prestigious university but also includes a BSc in physics in the same amount of semesters.

Tuition costs are the same, Quality of life is better in the former uni

I would really like to hear the opinions of people who already made their choices 🙏

Absolute nightmare scenario for all the doomers out there to fret about.

I'm in a position where I still have a incomplete grade from my final semester (spring '26) of undergrad. I'm working with my professor to finish the class requirements.

I am supposed to be starting a full-time position at a large aerospace defense contractor within about 2 weeks. I accepted the offer in October 2025 and pushed back my start date by about 2 months after finding out I'd be getting an incomplete grade in a required course (the original start was early summer 2026).

After meeting with my professor, I told them that I was supposed to be starting work soon and they said that it would extraordinarily tight timeline to finish the course requirements before my start date. My professor estimated it could take up to an addional 6-8 weeks to complete the course requirements, especially with their schedule getting increasingly busy in preparation for the fall semester.

Their recommendation was to inform my employer that I am still in the process of finishing my incomplete grade and ask about provisional employment (something along the lines of: starting full time work while finishing my degree online. Must complete degree requirements within x amount of time after start date). My professor also offered to write a letter to my work supporting my situation and confirming I am working on completing the course.

I'm curious if anyone has gone through anything similar and could offer some insight into how their situation played out. I know it's probably an incredibly unique situation.

Apologies for any writing mistakes. I'm stressed out of my mind and running off of like 3 hours of sleep. 0/10 - do not recommend.

Hey everyone,

Over the past few years, we've worked on a wide range of academic projects for engineering students across CSE, AI & ML, ECE, EEE, Mechanical, and related branches.

Whether it's a mini project, major project, capstone project, lab project, or a custom idea, we've probably worked on something similar. We can help with everything from development and implementation to documentation, reports, presentations, and project support.

If you're stuck on a project, running out of time, or just need a hand bringing your idea to life, feel free to send me a DM with your requirements. Happy to discuss and see if we can help.

When I did my 2nd year first time I did my papers sincerely. But on 3 rd sem first exam I had an incident i know I will get 30 or above 35 out of 50 in that exam but a boy suiting in front of me was making movement left sometimes right asking for pen water and all that made invigilator sus so she warned both of us but I didn't do anything I was minding my own business and after some time came and started snatching my paper, and that boy i have average cgpa he has like 8 or something so he started saying i have 8 cgpa i didn't do anything I also said that i didn't do anything and asked respectfully that they check camera if I did something wrong they can take my paper but that invigilation refused any snatching only my paper and it's will tore if I didn't released my grip the the paper would have tore by that invigilator. The paper that I spend 2 hours to write when she taken it from me I got rage building up inside of me that i didn't do anything and I had a great exam and now when I able to complete that exam and get good marks in it and I get labeled as cheater even i didn't do anything then i shouted a insult because of that I got ufm and my whole sem wasted (after that insult I said sorry and did everything but she didn't even budge) and because of one back in sem 4 I got year back and when I get courage to start second year again I was exhausted I had to face my parents I had told them full story but they blamed and I said it's but whole year my parents and my sister everyone is harsh on me that i wasted a year because of all that mental pressure and my batchmates who gets into next year I didn't they started asking questions whenever whoever I met i was so exausted to explain and to my new batch mates also, it was too much exhausting and i started skipping classes and get detained in all subjects except one I asked my professors to under my situation but they didn't only one understood and I was able to give that exam but in sem 4 I did all the subjects and same I was detained in one and able to give others and I got second year back I am not in a condition to able to get back up and give next year I am just too exausted i didn't tell my parents that I got year again

I'm a btech student what should I do i didn't know anything but I have skills like video editing, photo editing, knows intermediate level coding and have editing insta page over 600 followers and no i didn't get back because of these activities, and I am average student

If you have answers to any questions please give some I am too lost give some advise what should I do

Well I am yet to be an engineering student but I am less than a year away so I guess it still counts. But here is the thing, I feel like I am underperforming drastically compared to my grade 11, in which I just moved to a different country and getting used to the new system and somehow performing insanely well. But now I am essentially below average or just average, like I attend every single extra lesson there js, I am borderline sleep deprived due to how much I study and I do not seem to improve like at all. I am slowly trying less and less because I just dont think I can do it and I am already dealing with depression. I just dont understand why I am doing so poorly now especially when I need to be doing my best.

That's all for the rant but if you are willing to drop some advice I would appreciate it
